Hi there guys,

I want to get in and replace my whell bearing and swivel hubs seals this weekend. First hurdle is I'm having a little trouble removing my locking hubs. I've removed the 6 hex nuts and tabs, given them a little tap with a rubber mallet and the wont budge. Is there a trick Im missing or do I just have to put my tongue in the other side of my mouth?

Thanks in advance.

Give em a bigger hit mate, nothing ridiculous, but they hub casings themselves do sometimes require some gentle 'persuasion' to come off.
